Chuck Vuolo
Chuck Vuolo (November 6, 1951 – N/A) was an American preacher and pastor whose ministry has focused on serving evangelical congregations, notably within Baptist circles, with an emphasis on biblical teaching and pastoral leadership. Born Charles Henry Vuolo in Pennsylvania to parents of Italian descent, he was raised in a Roman Catholic family before experiencing a personal conversion to evangelical Christianity, a shift described by his son Jeremy as "seeing the light." He pursued theological education, though specific details are not widely documented, and began his preaching career in Pennsylvania. Vuolo’s ministry included pastoring Fleischmann’s Memorial Baptist Church in Philadelphia, where he served for an unspecified period, and later Grace Church in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, where he has been a pastor. His sermons, such as those addressing the "Horrors of Hell" and pastoral responsibilities, reflect a commitment to bold evangelism and scriptural fidelity, as evidenced by his appearances on platforms like I’ll Be Honest and BRIDGE Radio. Married to Diana Lynn Salamon since June 19, 1982, he has three children—Valerie Ann, Charles Anthony, and Jeremy Joseph—and two granddaughters, Felicity and Evangeline, through Jeremy’s marriage to Jinger Duggar. He continues to minister in Downingtown, known for officiating his son’s wedding and maintaining a low-profile yet impactful presence in his community.

This sermon emphasizes the urgency and motivation for bold evangelism by contemplating the horrific fate of those who do not know Jesus Christ, facing eternal separation from God in hell. It stresses the reality and endlessness of hell, urging believers to overcome their fears and share the good news with compassion and boldness, echoing the sentiment of Spurgeon to go to great lengths to warn and pray for those at risk of perishing.
Scriptures
Sermon Transcription
And so I believe, brothers and sisters, that one of the greatest motivations to our boldness in evangelism is the contemplation of the horrific fate that those who will face some of our own family members, loved ones, and friends and co-workers, the destiny they will face apart from Jesus Christ. They will go to a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth. They will go to a place of outer darkness separated from the presence of the Lord a place where they will be tormented in body and soul day and night. A place from which they will never be released. And I, beginning with myself, we all need to think more frequently about the horrors of hell and the torments of hell and the fact that some of our loved ones are going there. Not in a morbid sense, but in a realistic sense. Hell is real. No one taught more about hell than the loving, compassionate, gracious Lord Jesus Christ. It's real. And it's endless. And we're not going to get to the end and God says, oh, I was only joking. You know, I just wanted to scare you. Just a little scare tactic to motivate. No. What God says He means in hell is real. That alone should overcome our silly fears. What does it matter what some person of flesh thinks about me when they're going to eternal hell? That alone should motivate us to overcome our silly fears and be graciously bold in telling people the good news. I close in talking to you believers with a quote from Spurgeon. One that I do not live up to and I need more grace from God to practice. Perhaps many of you know it. Spurgeon said, if sinners be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for. May that motivate us to be bold in our evangelism.
